Stayed up late last night to finish watching the film The Blind Side and thoroughly enjoyed it. The fact that it is based on a true story gave it huge credibility.
I really hate the sickly schmaltzy American films that show no-hopers becoming world beaters through training and encouragement. Films like the Mighty Ducks where a group of losers are coached to become winners in an entirely puke inducing way that only the Americans can come up with and which has been copied in so many Movies over the years.
The Blind Side is schmaltzy but it is believable and hugely entertaining and Sandra Bullock puts in an excellent and totally believable performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy. For those who haven't seen it, the film chronicles the life of American Footballer Michael Oher who comes out of the American Black ghettos and is adopted by a rich white family. Through their love, support and encouragement he gains a high school degree and becomes one of the top Footballers of his generation.
It may sound sickly but it is treated in a very loving and gentle way and is an immensely enjoyable film.
Today it's pouring with rain again so I will be doing Hethersett Sports Association, Hethersett Football Club and various other bits and pieces ahead of a football club meeting tonight where we are going to discuss the future of the club and how we take it forward.
